    Default update

    well it is getting there. I have 2 more to build so all my stands are matching.

    I still need to do the sheeting and going to use formica for the outside. there will be shelving and a pull out tray for the 5 gallon. under the tall stand is going to be the 36 gallon sump filter. a bit of a over kill but hey.

    id really suggest you put some bracing on the tall stand, that high with no cross bracing is just asking for trouble!

    Nice arrangement Larry and nice lights too. Looks like you need another 36"

    Oakley 1984 is right. Make sure you diagonal brace those stand or may topple over sideway. Sheeting the front side an back side would work as well.
